Well, this is very interesting news.

I have to say that I was pleased to hear this news, as I think Gaiman will do a fabulous job writing the episode for Doctor Who. He wrote a very good episode of Babylon 5, "Day of the Dead", for the fifth and final season, and it was very enjoyable and had a rather neatly intriguing plot. So I look forward to seeing the Gaiman episode of DW whenever it airs.

Hammond. Something with a bit of faerie.
